Add A Tweet

"AddATweet's mission is to make every page on the Internet commentable. Today, commenting systems are implemented by individual web sites and have no ability to talk to each other. Users are typically anonymous or must create accounts on each of these sites. Also, comments are often moderated, preventing people from truly being able to express themselves when their opinions are in contrast with those of the web site owner. We believe that there is a need for a global commenting system. One that lets users comment on any page on the Internet, based on free speech principles. Want to change the world? Support free speech by inviting your friends to AddATweet"

Twitter gains entry in dictionary (UK)

#Twitter has gained academic respectability with inclusion in the Collins English Dictionary. The social networking tool, which has 1.8 million users, will be listed in the 30th anniversary edition to be published later this year. The website, which allows users to send brief online updates to their friends and family, will appears as both a noun and a verb. The entry under noun will read: "a website where people can post short messages about their current activities" and under verb it will read: "to write short messages on the Twitter website". The word Twitterati, referring to users of the website, will also be entered, as will Twitterverse, which defines the website and its users. Elaine Higgleton, Collins editorial director, told the Daily Mail: "Hardly a day goes by when you don't see some Twitter-related article. Hence I find it entirely unsurprising that this year we have not one Twitter-related entry in the dictionary, but three." Barack Obama, Britney Spears, Stephen Fry and Lily Allen are all regular users of the website. During Wimbledon Andy Murray posted updates, including one which revealed the Queen had wished him luck. Other regular users include Ed Balls, the Children's Secretary, Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrat leader, and Boris Johnson, the London mayor. - Telegraph
